"J&M did a great & efficient job on what would have been a nasty project for us (removal of bathroom wallpaper that had been up 20+ years). Then they repainted our bathroom in three colors. All this was done in two days and our painter worked very hard. The customer service was excellent. They even spackled a couple of spots in another room which was not in the contract and were helpful in answering our questions. We would recommend this company to anyone and would use it again."

"Paint project was completed as scheduled and at a reasonable price. The paint quality is outstanding, building surface prep was great, (no paint on the brick work or any other areas), and the paint application to surfaces was really well done. I would hire them again for another future project."

"My house was cleaner than even my best attempt, and thatâ s saying something! She was extremely detailed and got all the corners, spotless stainless steal appliances, dusted our pendant lights, so many little details that I really appreciate :) Usually when I hire cleaners I have to touch up where they missed, this lady missed NOTHING!!"

"Wilmar did a great job. We have old popcorn on half the ceilings on the upstairs (split entry) of our house. The previous owner painted all ceilings the same dark grey as the walls throughout the house. After getting some of the ceilings painted, I needed additional help with the living room and stairwell ceilings. Wilmar and his assistant (sorry, I didn't get her name) did a fabulous job! They both took great care to tape off and cover my furniture and carpets. They cleaned up all mess and even vacuumed and dusted surfaces afterward! Amazing job, highly recommend them."

Wallpaper Removal questions, answered by experts

The cost varies from $1 to $3 per square foot, depending on the type of wallpaper, the wall condition, and the labor involved.

Yes, you can pay someone to strip wallpaper. Before you hang new wallpaper, you should hire a local wallpaper removal service to prep the surface properly. Wallpaper removal pros cost $0.55 to $1.50 per square foot or $500 to $700 per room. Prices vary by room size and removal technique, as some options are more labor-intensive.

To remove pre-pasted wallpaper, you’ll need to wet the wallpaper or steam it to loosen the paste on the back of the wallpaper. Spray the paper with water, then let it soak for 10 to 20 minutes. From there, you should be able to peel off the wallpaper. Then, you may need to follow up with a cleaning solution and a scraper to remove any remaining wallpaper paste on the walls.

Prime and repaint walls after removal to ensure a clean, finished surface.

While it is possible to paint over wallpaper, it is generally better to remove it first to guarantee a smooth, professional finish. Painting over wallpaper can save time, but it may lead to issues if not done correctly.

You can paint over existing wallpaper if it is in excellent condition: smooth, non-textured, clean, and firmly adhered to the wall. Ensure there are no bumps, tears, or peeling areas, and that all corners and seams are securely glued down. You might also consider painting over wallpaper if removing it would damage the underlying wall. Additionally, some wallpapers are specifically designed to be paintable, which can add texture to a room.

However, there are risks. If the wallpaper is textured, damaged, or peeling, these imperfections will show through the new paint. The moisture from the paint can also loosen the wallpaper's adhesive, causing it to bubble and potentially damage the wall. To mitigate these issues, clean the surface thoroughly and use an oil-based primer to help the paint adhere and prevent the old adhesive from bleeding through.
